Devolve powers for Wales to make St David's Day a bank holiday

Petition Details

Devolve bank holiday powers to Wales, so the Welsh Government can make St David's Day a bank holiday.

There is majority support in Wales for a St David's Day bank holiday, and support from every party in the Senedd.

Scotland and Northern Ireland already have patron saint bank holidays.

Additional Information

St Andrew's Day is a bank holiday in Scotland and St Patrick's Day is a bank holiday in Northern Ireland. The UK Government has also given bank holidays for a jubilee and a coronation.

There is majority support among the Welsh people and there is support from every party in the Senedd.

A St David's Day bank holiday could also boost tourism to Wales year-round and promote Wales on the world stage.

The UK Government must respect the wishes of the people of Wales and must respect Welsh democracy.
